A13 JOFOC_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) related to the federal contract opportunity for "Starfish Software Renewal and Support" (Solicitation Number 75D301-24-Q-77879).

The JOFOC justifies the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) decision to procure a sole source contract for the renewal and support of the Starfish Software System. This software is a critical component of the CDC's public health surveillance infrastructure and is only available from the incumbent contractor, Starfish Software, Inc. The JOFOC outlines the unique capabilities of the Starfish Software System, the importance of maintaining continuity of operations, and the lack of other suitable alternatives. The contract term is for one base year with four one-year option periods, with a total estimated value of $17.5 million. The CDC plans to award the contract on a sole-source basis to Starfish Software, Inc. without full and open competition.
